I made a demo panel with three units running off one BT unit A trig radio, AV-30 and fuel flow computer They all worked perfectly with the radio and autopilot function ticked together The only issue was the trig had old software so didn’t work until this was updated. What a brilliant job by Tim and the team SD just keeps getting better and better !!! Many thanks James

I did have a garmin handheld on the panel to feed the Av and FF but that is now on the shelf

Do you have any information on wiring and configuring the AV-30 to input groundspeed, track and distance? Do you need an AV-Link or AV-HSI for these functions? What FF computer is it? Pictures would be fine. Questions about questions...

Group: Forum Members Posts: 26, Visits: 8	+x Dortro - 12/21/2024 7:53:40 AM Hi Michael,Thank you very much for both answers, this is very helpful!I was thinking to wire my BT580 to the KRT2 plug, following the diagram for connecting the remote. Your second suggestion sounds very good and, indeed, clean. Would it be expensive?My problem now is that my BT580 ls not detected by SD! I am mailing with Support about it.One of those things, it should detect the device almost immediately, but it does not…Again, thank you! Dorto, I think 70...90 bugs, like the AR620X BLE. The problem is that I don't have a KRT2 on my desk to test. I can't say anything about why the BT580 won't connect to SD. I haven't had a BT580 yet either.

Hello dear community, the prototype of a TQ KRT2 BLE PnP (PlugAndPray ) adapter is ready. The advantage of this dongle is that it is powered by the device itself. You don't need any additional wiring. The size is (40 x 45 x 17) mm. Unfortunately I can't make it any smaller. Simply plug this dongle between your existing cables - and you're done. Yes, the correct mounting brackets are included with the final version... I don't have them in stock yet. The screws aren't the right ones either...but that will be solved too. It is important that the electronics work in this small space. She does. Unfortunately I don't have a KRT2 to test and am therefore looking for a willing tester. Is there anyone with a TQ KRT2 who can test this dongle? I'm looking for a tester in Germany, preferably in the Berlin area. If you can and want to help here, send me a PM.
